Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SilverCloud at none against AppClose's 3. SilverCloud also leads on review sentiment (34% vs 13%). AppClose's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#52 vs unranked). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. AppClose sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. SilverCloud asks for nothing beyond the download.
AppClose holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 42K and 40K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of SilverCloud's written reviews are positive against 13% of AppClose's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SilverCloud ships an update every 2 months, AppClose monthly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
